12 The ADF system ofmilitary corrective establishments is three tiered it eompriscs unit detcndon cenms area detrntiou centres and a concctive detention centre (DFCE) 1he ADF Jdlabilitative system has DO prisons

prepare prisoners for re-integration into the conmumity

15 Ofthe tI1nc purposes ofdcteotionin paragraph 13 the ADF concept ofdetention focuses primarily on COI7tdionaIlTaining for offenders to rehabilitate them for further service Most offences committed by ADF personnel-are not ofa aiminal nature but are simply lapses ofdiscipUne or jlldpment The ADF investment in its sailors soldiers and airmen is high and tIlis dictates the rehabilitatiVe approacb rather than discharge -

Uaitand Area DeteatioD Centres

as the lists ofwit and area facilities 8t References 0 and E are outdated

THE DFCE CONCEPT

17 DFCE as the third tier ofthe ADF corrcdive cstablishmcats acknowledges the pwUtive and detemont nature ofa ~od ofdetention at the establisbmeot but emphasises the role it am play in building a positive aDitude towards serVice in the ADF its ethos and values ~primary elemeats ofthis etbos include a pride ill service to the nation the ADF the detainees unit or ship and to hisIher comrades The values that are nmttorced at DFCE include the will to bull dedication to duty hoDour integrity matesbip and ~ courage and loyahy

1B The exPcnence at DFCEis that delainccs are often immature individuals who lack self-discipline self-conficlcnce and a positive approach to Savice life To address 1besc iDadequIcics DFCpound imposes a rigorous disciplined routine ofcomctive training and wodc while rewarding effort and achievement with advanCcmeat and additional privileges

19 DFCE aims througb its corrective training programme to have detahiees

a realise the value ofhaving rules and regulations whidl govern militaty conduct and behaviour

b maiDtain ~respect for authority

46 Jeampislative aud Policy Framework The legislative framework for detention centres is adequate but there is a need for an ADF policy document on Detention Centres Dming early 1996 some development work was started on a OI(G) PERS titled Australian Defence Force - Detention Centres_ Apparently this document was not completed The Review Team believes that there is 8 requireincnt for a consistent ADf document on the policy and standards to be maintained by detention centres rather than relying on the Armys OI(A)PERS 58middot1 Tbe Review Team recommeads dlat aDI(e) PERS oa ADF Policy for DeteDUoD Ceatns sIIould be developed aDd issued

51 Case Managenaeat PlaDS_ Because detainees enterJ1cavc DFCE at various times are detained for diffennt periods and stI1fuumbers are low an individualcase ~ement plan which addresses the particular COITCdivetraioing and rehabilitation programmes needed by each deIaince is not seen as a practical option at DFCE This is at variance with the widespread use ofindividual case management plans in the corrective ~liShments visited by members oftbe Review Team Such plans are developed from the docmiJentation and informatioD which arrives with a dccainee and liom an initial series ofinlrrviews which take pIKe during the induetion phase The plan identifies whether a detainee is Jikely to be a security risk any medical dentil psychological or welfare needs what special counselling or training programs should be arranged and it confinns all the personal dam that may be relevant to a detainees performance behaviour and management Mucb oftbis is already done at DFGE but not 8$ a case management plan The propOsed case managemmt plan should be a critical tool forthe management ofeach individual However this approach docs not mean that deminces have completely different programs but rather it recognizis that each has individual problems which need to be addressed All detainees would continue in the main daily

routine but where possible would undertake counselling and specific programs relating to their attirudes behaviour and offence The Review Team recommends that individual case management plans be

15 Ofthe tI1nc purposes ofdcteotionin paragraph 13 the ADF concept ofdetention focuses primarily on COI7tdionaIlTaining for offenders to rehabilitate them for further service Most offences committed by ADF personnel-are not ofa aiminal nature but are simply lapses ofdiscipUne or jlldpment The ADF investment in its sailors soldiers and airmen is high and tIlis dictates the rehabilitatiVe approacb rather than discharge -

THE DFCE CONCEPT

17 DFCE as the third tier ofthe ADF corrcdive cstablishmcats acknowledges the pwUtive and detemont nature ofa ~od ofdetention at the establisbmeot but emphasises the role it am play in building a positive aDitude towards serVice in the ADF its ethos and values ~primary elemeats ofthis etbos include a pride ill service to the nation the ADF the detainees unit or ship and to hisIher comrades The values that are nmttorced at DFCE include the will to bull dedication to duty hoDour integrity matesbip and ~ courage and loyahy

1B The exPcnence at DFCEis that delainccs are often immature individuals who lack self-discipline self-conficlcnce and a positive approach to Savice life To address 1besc iDadequIcics DFCpound imposes a rigorous disciplined routine ofcomctive training and wodc while rewarding effort and achievement with advanCcmeat and additional privileges

routine but where possible would undertake counselling and specific programs relating to their attirudes behaviour and offence The Review Team recommends that individual case management plans be

15 Ofthe tI1nc purposes ofdcteotionin paragraph 13 the ADF concept ofdetention focuses primarily on COI7tdionaIlTaining for offenders to rehabilitate them for further service Most offences committed by ADF personnel-are not ofa aiminal nature but are simply lapses ofdiscipUne or jlldpment The ADF investment in its sailors soldiers and airmen is high and tIlis dictates the rehabilitatiVe approacb rather than discharge -

THE DFCE CONCEPT

17 DFCE as the third tier ofthe ADF corrcdive cstablishmcats acknowledges the pwUtive and detemont nature ofa ~od ofdetention at the establisbmeot but emphasises the role it am play in building a positive aDitude towards serVice in the ADF its ethos and values ~primary elemeats ofthis etbos include a pride ill service to the nation the ADF the detainees unit or ship and to hisIher comrades The values that are nmttorced at DFCE include the will to bull dedication to duty hoDour integrity matesbip and ~ courage and loyahy

1B The exPcnence at DFCEis that delainccs are often immature individuals who lack self-discipline self-conficlcnce and a positive approach to Savice life To address 1besc iDadequIcics DFCpound imposes a rigorous disciplined routine ofcomctive training and wodc while rewarding effort and achievement with advanCcmeat and additional privileges

15 Ofthe tI1nc purposes ofdcteotionin paragraph 13 the ADF concept ofdetention focuses primarily on COI7tdionaIlTaining for offenders to rehabilitate them for further service Most offences committed by ADF personnel-are not ofa aiminal nature but are simply lapses ofdiscipUne or jlldpment The ADF investment in its sailors soldiers and airmen is high and tIlis dictates the rehabilitatiVe approacb rather than discharge -

THE DFCE CONCEPT

17 DFCE as the third tier ofthe ADF corrcdive cstablishmcats acknowledges the pwUtive and detemont nature ofa ~od ofdetention at the establisbmeot but emphasises the role it am play in building a positive aDitude towards serVice in the ADF its ethos and values ~primary elemeats ofthis etbos include a pride ill service to the nation the ADF the detainees unit or ship and to hisIher comrades The values that are nmttorced at DFCE include the will to bull dedication to duty hoDour integrity matesbip and ~ courage and loyahy

1B The exPcnence at DFCEis that delainccs are often immature individuals who lack self-discipline self-conficlcnce and a positive approach to Savice life To address 1besc iDadequIcics DFCpound imposes a rigorous disciplined routine ofcomctive training and wodc while rewarding effort and achievement with advanCcmeat and additional privileges

prepare prisoners for re-integration into the conmumity

15 Ofthe tI1nc purposes ofdcteotionin paragraph 13 the ADF concept ofdetention focuses primarily on COI7tdionaIlTaining for offenders to rehabilitate them for further service Most offences committed by ADF personnel-are not ofa aiminal nature but are simply lapses ofdiscipUne or jlldpment The ADF investment in its sailors soldiers and airmen is high and tIlis dictates the rehabilitatiVe approacb rather than discharge -

THE DFCE CONCEPT

17 DFCE as the third tier ofthe ADF corrcdive cstablishmcats acknowledges the pwUtive and detemont nature ofa ~od ofdetention at the establisbmeot but emphasises the role it am play in building a positive aDitude towards serVice in the ADF its ethos and values ~primary elemeats ofthis etbos include a pride ill service to the nation the ADF the detainees unit or ship and to hisIher comrades The values that are nmttorced at DFCE include the will to bull dedication to duty hoDour integrity matesbip and ~ courage and loyahy

1B The exPcnence at DFCEis that delainccs are often immature individuals who lack self-discipline self-conficlcnce and a positive approach to Savice life To address 1besc iDadequIcics DFCpound imposes a rigorous disciplined routine ofcomctive training and wodc while rewarding effort and achievement with advanCcmeat and additional privileges

19 DFCE aims througb its corrective training programme to have detahiees

routine but where possible would undertake counselling and specific programs relating to their attirudes behaviour and offence The Review Team recommends that individual case management plans be

46 Jeampislative aud Policy Framework The legislative framework for detention centres is adequate but there is a need for an ADF policy document on Detention Centres Dming early 1996 some development work was started on a OI(G) PERS titled Australian Defence Force - Detention Centres_ Apparently this document was not completed The Review Team believes that there is 8 requireincnt for a consistent ADf document on the policy and standards to be maintained by detention centres rather than relying on the Armys OI(A)PERS 58middot1 Tbe Review Team recommeads dlat aDI(e) PERS oa ADF Policy for DeteDUoD Ceatns sIIould be developed aDd issued

51 Case Managenaeat PlaDS_ Because detainees enterJ1cavc DFCE at various times are detained for diffennt periods and stI1fuumbers are low an individualcase ~ement plan which addresses the particular COITCdivetraioing and rehabilitation programmes needed by each deIaince is not seen as a practical option at DFCE This is at variance with the widespread use ofindividual case management plans in the corrective ~liShments visited by members oftbe Review Team Such plans are developed from the docmiJentation and informatioD which arrives with a dccainee and liom an initial series ofinlrrviews which take pIKe during the induetion phase The plan identifies whether a detainee is Jikely to be a security risk any medical dentil psychological or welfare needs what special counselling or training programs should be arranged and it confinns all the personal dam that may be relevant to a detainees performance behaviour and management Mucb oftbis is already done at DFGE but not 8$ a case management plan The propOsed case managemmt plan should be a critical tool forthe management ofeach individual However this approach docs not mean that deminces have completely different programs but rather it recognizis that each has individual problems which need to be addressed All detainees would continue in the main daily

routine but where possible would undertake counselling and specific programs relating to their attirudes behaviour and offence The Review Team recommends that individual case management plans be

51 Case Managenaeat PlaDS_ Because detainees enterJ1cavc DFCE at various times are detained for diffennt periods and stI1fuumbers are low an individualcase ~ement plan which addresses the particular COITCdivetraioing and rehabilitation programmes needed by each deIaince is not seen as a practical option at DFCE This is at variance with the widespread use ofindividual case management plans in the corrective ~liShments visited by members oftbe Review Team Such plans are developed from the docmiJentation and informatioD which arrives with a dccainee and liom an initial series ofinlrrviews which take pIKe during the induetion phase The plan identifies whether a detainee is Jikely to be a security risk any medical dentil psychological or welfare needs what special counselling or training programs should be arranged and it confinns all the personal dam that may be relevant to a detainees performance behaviour and management Mucb oftbis is already done at DFGE but not 8$ a case management plan The propOsed case managemmt plan should be a critical tool forthe management ofeach individual However this approach docs not mean that deminces have completely different programs but rather it recognizis that each has individual problems which need to be addressed All detainees would continue in the main daily

routine but where possible would undertake counselling and specific programs relating to their attirudes behaviour and offence The Review Team recommends that individual case management plans be

routine but where possible would undertake counselling and specific programs relating to their attirudes behaviour and offence The Review Team recommends that individual case management plans be

46 Jeampislative aud Policy Framework The legislative framework for detention centres is adequate but there is a need for an ADF policy document on Detention Centres Dming early 1996 some development work was started on a OI(G) PERS titled Australian Defence Force - Detention Centres_ Apparently this document was not completed The Review Team believes that there is 8 requireincnt for a consistent ADf document on the policy and standards to be maintained by detention centres rather than relying on the Armys OI(A)PERS 58middot1 Tbe Review Team recommeads dlat aDI(e) PERS oa ADF Policy for DeteDUoD Ceatns sIIould be developed aDd issued

51 Case Managenaeat PlaDS_ Because detainees enterJ1cavc DFCE at various times are detained for diffennt periods and stI1fuumbers are low an individualcase ~ement plan which addresses the particular COITCdivetraioing and rehabilitation programmes needed by each deIaince is not seen as a practical option at DFCE This is at variance with the widespread use ofindividual case management plans in the corrective ~liShments visited by members oftbe Review Team Such plans are developed from the docmiJentation and informatioD which arrives with a dccainee and liom an initial series ofinlrrviews which take pIKe during the induetion phase The plan identifies whether a detainee is Jikely to be a security risk any medical dentil psychological or welfare needs what special counselling or training programs should be arranged and it confinns all the personal dam that may be relevant to a detainees performance behaviour and management Mucb oftbis is already done at DFGE but not 8$ a case management plan The propOsed case managemmt plan should be a critical tool forthe management ofeach individual However this approach docs not mean that deminces have completely different programs but rather it recognizis that each has individual problems which need to be addressed All detainees would continue in the main daily

routine but where possible would undertake counselling and specific programs relating to their attirudes behaviour and offence The Review Team recommends that individual case management plans be

51 Case Managenaeat PlaDS_ Because detainees enterJ1cavc DFCE at various times are detained for diffennt periods and stI1fuumbers are low an individualcase ~ement plan which addresses the particular COITCdivetraioing and rehabilitation programmes needed by each deIaince is not seen as a practical option at DFCE This is at variance with the widespread use ofindividual case management plans in the corrective ~liShments visited by members oftbe Review Team Such plans are developed from the docmiJentation and informatioD which arrives with a dccainee and liom an initial series ofinlrrviews which take pIKe during the induetion phase The plan identifies whether a detainee is Jikely to be a security risk any medical dentil psychological or welfare needs what special counselling or training programs should be arranged and it confinns all the personal dam that may be relevant to a detainees performance behaviour and management Mucb oftbis is already done at DFGE but not 8$ a case management plan The propOsed case managemmt plan should be a critical tool forthe management ofeach individual However this approach docs not mean that deminces have completely different programs but rather it recognizis that each has individual problems which need to be addressed All detainees would continue in the main daily

routine but where possible would undertake counselling and specific programs relating to their attirudes behaviour and offence The Review Team recommends that individual case management plans be

46 Jeampislative aud Policy Framework The legislative framework for detention centres is adequate but there is a need for an ADF policy document on Detention Centres Dming early 1996 some development work was started on a OI(G) PERS titled Australian Defence Force - Detention Centres_ Apparently this document was not completed The Review Team believes that there is 8 requireincnt for a consistent ADf document on the policy and standards to be maintained by detention centres rather than relying on the Armys OI(A)PERS 58middot1 Tbe Review Team recommeads dlat aDI(e) PERS oa ADF Policy for DeteDUoD Ceatns sIIould be developed aDd issued

51 Case Managenaeat PlaDS_ Because detainees enterJ1cavc DFCE at various times are detained for diffennt periods and stI1fuumbers are low an individualcase ~ement plan which addresses the particular COITCdivetraioing and rehabilitation programmes needed by each deIaince is not seen as a practical option at DFCE This is at variance with the widespread use ofindividual case management plans in the corrective ~liShments visited by members oftbe Review Team Such plans are developed from the docmiJentation and informatioD which arrives with a dccainee and liom an initial series ofinlrrviews which take pIKe during the induetion phase The plan identifies whether a detainee is Jikely to be a security risk any medical dentil psychological or welfare needs what special counselling or training programs should be arranged and it confinns all the personal dam that may be relevant to a detainees performance behaviour and management Mucb oftbis is already done at DFGE but not 8$ a case management plan The propOsed case managemmt plan should be a critical tool forthe management ofeach individual However this approach docs not mean that deminces have completely different programs but rather it recognizis that each has individual problems which need to be addressed All detainees would continue in the main daily

routine but where possible would undertake counselling and specific programs relating to their attirudes behaviour and offence The Review Team recommends that individual case management plans be
